I stumbled across Python in 2000 when I ran accross GNUe.  I decided
to look into Python at that time, and was impressed that the code was
readable, and, understandable - even before I looked at the language
and library refs.  I had been working in a subset of Basic and Delphi
at the time.  I really don't like Pascal or C/C++ with all of the
BEGIN/END and braces.  I don't work in Python full time, but do use it
for scripting, and "hobby" programming. One heck of a cool language!
